First of all, the span inside the ul will never validate, and the
javascript should be able to target the ul as easily as the span. In
fact, the sample code in the js documentation doesn't use any spans.
Second, I think the main culprit of the float drop is the object
element. It has a set width of 600px while #content has a width of
75%. IE/win will widen containers to make sure all the content
fits. At narrower window sizes in ie, the flash object will force
the #content to be wider then 70% and the float will drop. In other
browsers, the flash just overflows and covers up part of the
navigation list.
Unless the client demands it, I'd get rid of the flash object and the
scrolling window title. All that movement makes it hard to actually
read the page.
